Starter cartridges: The first set of cartridges which comes with a new printer

Third-Party ARC chips

OEM cartridges with very low ink. If a cartridge has an X sign on the LCD screen, it is passed the reset point. Even if it doesn't have an X sign, some cartridge still won't be able to reset if the ink level is too low.

The resetter works with:

OEM cartridges with plenty of ink

Third-party one-time-use cartridges with plenty of ink

An Epson cartridge has a memory chip that records the number of printed pages. The printer uses the page count estimating the ink level. Therefore, a refilled cartridge won't show a correct ink level because the chip remembers the old page-count When a cartridge prints too many pages, the printer will refuse to print, no matter how much ink is left.

This chip resetter resets the page number to zero, so we can use a refilled cartridge.

When a printer shows low ink, we will take out the cartridge and add more ink. Then, we will put it on the resetter and press the cartridge down for a few seconds. A green LED light will indicate that the page number has been reset.

We need to reset (and refill) a cartridge when it has at least 15% of its ink left.

The resetter works on Epson original cartridges and most of the third party compatible cartridges. Because we can't test all the cartridges from the third party manufacturers, we only say the resetter works with all of the tested ones.

The resetter only works with these cartridge models (Doesn't work for T220, T288, T410...not listed ones):
